I'm pulling up what looks like 2 or 3 layers of old linoleum and vinyl tile to lay ceramic tile on the concrete slab. What's the best and easiest way to get the old stuff up?

The previous owners of my house had something hanging over the front door which caused it to bend slightly down and in (it hung from in betwen the door and the molding). The consequence is a huge draft. Can I replace the hinges or do I need to replace the whole door to fix this alignment problem?

I'm really trying to conserve on oil consumption in my house. I turn down the thermostat, my tenant does so as well. But the furnace still kicks in when the temp drops to what we've set them to.
What I've tried doing is just to shut off the furnace on weekdays. I'm alone, so it's no big deal for me. I turn it back on as soon as the tenant gets back from work.

I'm wondering, does this really help or am I actually using more heat when the furnace restarts after being shut off for 6 hours? It also has to heat the hot water tank (30 gallons).

Thanks for your input!

I live in a victorian back to back terraced underdwelling, which means we have a house above us. The roof of this house is leaking and water is causing rising damp in our property. The woman above us says she's in the process of getting it fixed, but that was five months ago! Are we jointly responsible for the roof repairs?

There are 4 bulbs on my kitchen light fitting and two of the bulbs
have blown. Am I saving on my bill by not replacing them, or
does it make no difference.

the fan stops working when the oven gets hot. i have tested it and there is still a supply there. i have looked at the creda web site and you can still buy a new one. however i cant get the old one out. i assume you need to get the fan blade off the front of the shaft first but im not sure and it wont budge. cheers
